asciilifeform: at any rate, for the price it is quite impossible to beat, i have nfi how they are able to supply this kind of service, at that price.
asciilifeform: they also claim that they have never dropped a paying account other than by court order , but i have no way of knowing if true.
asciilifeform: fd_travel: they have a strange and ancient setup, you use their nameserver, the boxes actually serving up your thing, vary, the ip is not static, quite eldritch
ben_vulpes: in other top lols, you can now have a "custom gender" in the google play store
fd_travel: i wonder how they handle ddos. i mean, maybe your blog is just not baitsy enough :p
asciilifeform: the minus is that it is (yes) in usa, and has very limited support for anything that isn't text www ☟︎
asciilifeform: i pay couplea bux per mo for what is in effect five-nines uptime, and the closest thing i've ever seen to infinite ddos resistance
asciilifeform: i am actually rather fond of my vps hoster, nfs co (discussed in the logs at least twice, one of which was the time mircea_popescu wrote to them 'why not bitcoin?' and they answered 'bitcoin is a snore', he then barfed)
fd_travel: i wouldn't trust their virtualised 'dedicated box' offer to actually be dedicated but who knows
ben_vulpes: don't they?
fd_travel: mk. (anyway, that was inane of me, need to move forward, not sideways)
fd_travel: (so, to be clear -- will move)
fd_travel: that said, not the best of arguments.
ben_vulpes: do you have a citation for that claim?
fd_travel: hey to my knowledge quite a bit of tmsr infra is on vps :)
fd_travel: for websites n' stuff. but need to move to normal box
fd_travel: yesyes. fwiw the ssh banner db is on dedicated server. i just have an old vps which has been doing just fine actually
fd_travel: good news, scriba et al.'s hosting provider is doing maintenance again, only this time it's scheduled (http://gedimai.iv.lt/?id=610)
asciilifeform: the folx who actually want to speak -- and have something to say -- follow the instructions, they ask somebody for an 'up'.
a111: Logged on 2017-03-22 20:52 phf: ben_vulpes: i was thinking of wiring in an auto-upper for never seen accounts, but given the quality of ups.. i do wonder, if were to up them "faster" maybe they'll talk better
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-22#1631002 << the remoras, historically, have shown 0 interest in talking, or - when talking - in making any sense ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2017-03-22 20:46 Framedragger: luckily there haven't been any leakage of key material over radio
danielpbarron: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-22#1630987 << for a second this looked like a response to the previous line :D ☝︎
Framedragger: i simply haven't internalised the republic's world_takeover_timeline.txt
ben_vulpes: "much after q3" is specific to you?
ben_vulpes: i'll be surprised if new people are even welcome without immediately joining the wot and introducing themselves much after q3
phf: also the whole "funnel of good material" was the original idea behind mp's "start your own channels"
phf: but it's not advertised anywhere. bulk of random strangers is going t come here
phf: i'm not sure the idea is relevant, since you can just have an open channel for funneling already
Framedragger: bots autoup folks there, use channel as funnel of good material into #trilema; or, bots calculate entropy of nicks outputting there, creating automatic pipeline.. horrible idea i know
ben_vulpes: "has nick joined and parted within the past week without saying anything after receiving voice?" ☟︎
phf: ben_vulpes: i was thinking of wiring in an auto-upper for never seen accounts, but given the quality of ups.. i do wonder, if were to up them "faster" maybe they'll talk better ☟︎☟︎
ben_vulpes: i assume, yes, and ask as i have nfi what even to search for
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: iirc he posted a photo at some point, is in the l0gz
asciilifeform: that one time i sent a sample of boards to mircea_popescu , in 2014, was a real lulzfest
asciilifeform: i do idly wonder what the parcels will look like on the other end of their trip.
Framedragger: (mail from US takes a while here sometimes)
asciilifeform: Framedragger: for some reason 9 out of 10 tardanos have onboard radios.
Framedragger: luckily there haven't been any leakage of key material over radio ☟︎
shinohai: Bored with all those other apps? Examine thy semen! http://www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/2017/3/22/15009960/male-fertility-device-smartphone-app-semen-test
Framedragger: the radio interface is hipsta but talk about increased attack surface omg.
Framedragger: it's one thing tor jumping ahead with newhope because omg POSTQUANTUM, but a pgp board.. lol
Framedragger: hm, even among new hipster crypto people newhope was still supposed to be 'experimental' / new (2015)
asciilifeform: https://camp.hsbp.org/2016/pp7e0/fahrplan/system/attachments/22/original/camp__.pdf << sooo i look at his pcb -- antenna track?! then read, 'key exchange over 2.4GHz', 'post-quantum crypto (newhope and symmetric)'
asciilifeform: meanwhile, ACHTUNG s.nsa customers! moar FUCKGOATS shipped today. see your invoice www pg to learn if yours was in this batch. ☟︎
asciilifeform: readerz write in : https://www.ctrlc.hu/~stef/blog/posts/pitchfork.html << new tardano.
ben_vulpes: didja read the article?
mircea_popescu: maybe i'm slow, but i can't connect that to the q ?
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: when deciding what to plant on the 'criminal' comp, naturally
mircea_popescu: how exactly were some people capable of geting "hashes" of files they need some dork's password to decrypt ?
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: at what point in the toolchain?
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: afaik they use humans
ben_vulpes: bloat the "known hashes" db rightly.
mircea_popescu: and the answer is, because twitter is part of usg, not part of the internet.
mircea_popescu: the right question is, why doesn't twitter alter all its images on the fly to hit those hashes
ben_vulpes: would be funny to re-release all of those files fuzzed ever so slightly
mircea_popescu: ah. you are asking the wrong question.
ben_vulpes: "thousands of files with the same hash values as known child pornography files"
ben_vulpes: why, if prosecution relies on "known hashes" are these verboten integers not twiddled ever so slightly for each customer?
asciilifeform: it's the logical end.
asciilifeform: https://archive.is/0qmNU << from same rag. 'The US Third Circuit Court of Appeals today upheld a lower court ruling of contempt against a chap who claimed he couldn't remember the password to decrypt his computer's hard drives.'
mircea_popescu: whats next, titus anime steel ?
asciilifeform: ^ complete with 'oh it wasn't the tor, believe'
asciilifeform: unrelatedly, https://archive.is/F7Vjc << from the world of opsecfail lulz.
asciilifeform: ^ includes the buildroot process
asciilifeform: actually strike that,
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: http://therealbitcoin.org/ml/btc-dev/2015-January/000033.html << arm cross-flags example (from ye olde trb)
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: see the pogo build articles.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: thanks mircea_popescu
mircea_popescu: why the hell not.
ben_vulpes: what would "the right way" to "cross-compile the whole shebang" be?
mircea_popescu: eh why the hell not. you're gonna be the lucky one,
ben_vulpes: surely that's not going to be as simple as adding the right CROSS_COMPILE flag to portage conf files, right?
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: you really oughta cross-compile the whole shebang
asciilifeform: gentoo afaik never had a theo de raadt, with cellar full of vax, pdp
asciilifeform: heh, that's what, 4? 5? yrs after the last ppc box was sold other than secondhand?
mircea_popescu: kinda the point of killing them, really.
mircea_popescu: yeah, dead lizard srs bad news for the empire.
asciilifeform: 'Since Dwyer died in office, his widow Joanne was able to collect full survivor benefits, totaling over $1.28 million.' --pediwik
mircea_popescu: the ones that did it, to the graveyard. the replacements -- don't do it.
asciilifeform: where did these go.
asciilifeform: 'Pennsylvania State Treasurer R. Budd Dwyer holds a pistol as he prepared to shoot himself in front of cameras during a news conference in his State Capitol office in Harrisburg.' << pretty great
ben_vulpes: https://www.theatlantic.com/photo/2017/03/30-years-ago-a-look-back-at-1987/520290/ << featuring agent orange, liza minella, old compaqs, the clintons, and a few ships on fire
mircea_popescu: they were trying to do final fantasy tactics! holy shit, a decade later
mircea_popescu: ten years later i finally figured out what fucking possessed nival to ruin heroes of might and magic 5.
mircea_popescu: it's the I[di]OT way. browsers "prefetch" pages, on it goes.
mircea_popescu: 50-50 the "intelligent" app just connects him for good measure and behind the screen.
mircea_popescu: postapocalyptica, yes ? "i wonder what this rope is connected to" "nothing."
mircea_popescu: most of the tubes lead nowhere / most of the nerves aren't connected / most of the cables lay buried in a pile of mud.
phf: guy connects to trilema from his android, gets banned, still doesn't reach out to anybody. "oh, i'm sorry, my bad, i will learn to wash ass", something
mircea_popescu: head of household or w/e. independent agent at the least.
mircea_popescu: phf and i bet the happenstance that friend-describes-him-as-not-smooth and the incidental that no-hot-chicks-take-to-his-bower are entirely and wholly unrelated in his own estimation, if somehow it were to be obtained yes ?
mircea_popescu: most "bad relationships" are exactly that. bitter moon (the film) if anyone saw that crap is best summarized as "two subbies arguing who should top that evening".
mircea_popescu: contrary to the common fantasy, most betas would actually be a lot fucking happier if they could live in out and out sexual slavery rather than the bs they're stuck with currently.
phf: he's not that smooth, though that would be a sop reaction in india
mircea_popescu: so he turns around and "ass grabbing carries a twenny dollar fine m'am"
phf: i know a guy who rickshaws (in new york, now in austin), and loved it for that very reason. i think he stopped because young girls don't typically get pedicab, mostly drunken old women who "grab his ass" etc.
asciilifeform: no i was speaking of the pedal folx
asciilifeform: from the position of a draft horse?!
mircea_popescu: (there's a reason bar wenches were female, and the reason is, that originally it was a very reasonable way to get yourself mated.)
